What the hell is A-Rod talking about?

GREAT job by Leury going on the first pitch.

ESPN's Sunday night broadcasts are an embarrassment all around, from Color/PBP, to the camera work. Good gracious.

Fire these cameramen into the sun

Espn camera guys...i swear....

ESPN spends 9 trillion dollars on these Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts yet they regularly miss pitches, stolen base attempts, and have atrocious broadcasters. Nice job.

Leury wreaking havoc on the bases

Awful camera work.

This camerawork is abysmal. JFC

All series, it’s been late transitioning from ball hit to the field

Does Trout?  Does Upton?

Just from eyeballing, Abreu + Grandal has to get you in the same ballpark as those guys, I would think.

Amazing what happens when you start taking good players out of lineups. 

Taking 1 player out of a supposedly elite offense does not decimate it.

Too many of these guys are technically still question marks.

9 trillion? Like with a T and R?

What does Garcia bring to the team? Outside of weak grounders, so don’t see why he’s on the team or why LaRussa is playing him so much early.

The Sox need to upgrade their first guy off the bench if they want to win a lot of ball games.

I also don’t get batting Eaton second, it’s ugly. I know it’s the fourth game of the year but I rather see Moncada there and Grandal third with Abreu batting cleanup 

Just get him over

We desperately need Yoan to be a factor.  If he sucks this year, they won’t make the postseason.

For the teams the Sox should compare themselves with, the lack of depth they have is not normal. If guys are out on the Dodgers, Padres, Yankees, Twins etc it does not look like this.

I would hate to see Grandal batting 3rd. Way too many outs made.

He's one of the few guys who actually make pitchers work. I'd want Grandal batting 2nd or 3rd, but reasonable minds can disagree.

Abreu with 1 out and a runner on third? This is an acceptable scenario.

Need to tie this here
